Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the part number MXS394 against the old starter motor and compare the mounting dimensions. The listed 2 hole mount, 106mm mount centres A, 70mm flange diameter and M10 / 11 mount hole size are the most useful checks when confirming a replacement starter.

The 12V rating, 0.8kW output, 8 tooth pinion and clockwise rotation all need to line up with the vehicle application and the original unit. If any of those details differ, the starter may not engage correctly or may not bolt up as intended, even if the unit looks similar externally.

This unit is described as Mitsubishi style, but it should still be checked against the actual starter fitted to the vehicle. Overall length is 165mm, pinion diameter is 27mm and pinion at rest is 11.5mm, so these measurements can be compared with the removed part where access allows.

As with any rotating electrical part, condition of the battery, cables, terminals and engine earths should also be checked during diagnosis. A starter motor can only perform properly when the rest of the starting system is in good order, and fitting a new unit will not correct unrelated wiring or battery faults.

The warranty is listed as 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial. That is useful for buyers who want a new replacement rather than a remanufactured unit, but it does not remove the need to confirm fitment using the vehicle application, the part number MXS394 and the supplied dimensions before purchase.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number MXS394 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 8Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS394 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number MXS394, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by comparing the original starter motor, the part number MXS394 and the listed application details, including 12V, 8 tooth, CW rotation, 2 hole mounting, 106mm mount centres A and 70mm flange diameter.
